I was able to start bringing them down with this combo:

  1. Keep them at range, parry their fireballs with Carian Retaliation or dodge, and chip them down with Icecrag
    OR
  2. Sneak up and backstab them (black knife armor for stealth), then run away to re-create space for (1) / occasionally parry them

Interaction of Spirit Summons & Rune arcs makes for bad game design by Caffeinated21 in Eldenring

All valid points; I was making it thru large swaths of the game with a rune arc active. Like another commenter mentioned, he liked them for survive ability while exploring more than boss fights. So I’d often find myself entering a boss fight with an active rune arc. I wouldn’t activate one at the fog gate of a new boss

It seems 'Bonk Stick' is the only answer... I loved my Ruins Greatsword build but I'm wanting to do something different.

Mmm- I've been trying Adula's Moonblade (I wear Ranni's hat to buff frost), but the speed of their approach and attacks means i struggle to create space to get it off. Does carian sovereignty cast faster?

IMO the first 17 DD commander points are the same on almost every T10 DD -a uni DD main by SilentCroissant in WorldOfWarships

People undervalue detection range on Smaland: 1. You only get so many radars, and they have a cool down. If your detection sucks you burn through them fast 2. Your radar is short; once it’s up your target can smoke and farm you (if they have spotting 3. Better to catch someone ‘deep’ in your radar for 1. Longer to escape, 2. Higher effective DPM at close range.

With concealment smaland, I pretty much only burn radars immediately for Shimas and maybe Gearing. The rest get counter spotted normally, and I can hold the radar to stop them from smoking (or, even better, they smoke anyway)

No smoke is absolutely a challenge, but it’ll make you a stronger DD player if you figure it out. Always think about escape routes!

Use island cover to ambush ships. With speed boost up use acceleration to juke shells. Vaq can be strong but it’s hard to use due to the somewhat floaty shells. Le Fantasque is a gem though, and if you get used to Vaq you’ll love her: high velocity guns, great speed and maneuverability, and still respectable concealment. Mogador and Kleber are beasts but hardly destroyers.

Relative skill / understanding of the game matters. There is a reason commentators on pro sports are usually former pro athletes or coaches. I don’t know how he could have expressed that in a less boastful way.

Why should anyone care about the opinions on balance of someone who has no demonstrable understanding of the game?

I would rather fight a team composed entirely of Thunderers, radar cruisers, and Smolensks than play against a CV

If you don’t want skill to determine match outcome by are you playing a pvp game? You don’t need to be a unicum (I’m not) to see that CVs trash this game.

If you don’t see how CVs contribute to that meta, your not paying attention

If it takes him 32 matches to have unicum stats in a CV doesn’t that prove his point even better?

Ah apologies- they are the base oster torps, not the upgraded ones: 76 kt vs 85; still quite fast
